Can I use a prime rib roast instead of chuck? That's all I have on hand! (I made this recipe recently and my husband said it was the best roast I've ever made!)

Paula, I do my pot roasts in a slow cooker, they come out falling apart which is what my husband loves. However, when the roast cools down it gets hard, what can I do to keep the rest of it moist so I can use the rest of it in something else? Respectfully, Carole

I have made this recipe a few different times now and it has re-instilled my faith in pot roast! Before I use to make pot roast and it would always come out dry and unflavorful not matter what I tried to do. The first time I made this recipe, I was floored on how rich and flavorful it was. I will never stray away from this recipe and all who have tried it, love it just as much!

Was watching you on the Food Network. You were making a pot roast. Question I am highly allergic to Mushrooms is there something else I can put in the place of the Mushroom soup??

This was good. I did not measure the seasoning but I have a heavy hand anyway and use a ton of seasoning...salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder and cayenne pepper. I also made several slits in the meat all over and stuffed it with garlic, then seared the meat. I used almost a cup of red wine and added portabella mushrooms. I cooked it at 250 in the oven overnight. It prob cooked a total of 10hrs, which is like being cooked in a crock pot. Approx 2hrs before taking it out I cut up a couple carrots and potatoes made sure it was under the gravy and covered it back up. I always put it in a pot and seal it with heavy duty aluminum foil so no air can get out. It practically melts in your mouth when finish.

This is the absolute best pot roast ever!!!! It's so tender and tasty! I have made this on several occasions, including holidays and it's always a hit! I gave this recipe to a friend and her stated "this is the best roast i've ever had." Thank you Paula for this wonderful recipe:)

My brother's asked me to mix up our standard dinner choices- I tired out this recipe and you would have taught that they were eating a slice of heaven- needless to say there weren't any leftovers and we now have a new family favorite and we are now hooked on Paula Deen!

I have tried many great pot roast recipes, but this is as great as they come.

Stupid awesome recipe. I adapted it based on what I had/didn’t have, and used it in my slow cooker/crock pot. I rubbed the roast liberally with a Savory Spice Shop rub that I received as a gift (Pike’s Peak Butchers Rub: black pepper, sea salt, white pepper, red bell pepper, garlic, minced green onion and parsley), then browned it in a stainless pan over high heat w/ olive oil. While that browned, I lined the bottom of the slow cooker (large oval style) with a layer of carrots and 2 bay leaves. Once browned, I set the roast on top of the carrots, and put the onions in the pan that I browned the roast in. After a few minutes of cooking the onions, I added the minced garlic for just a minute, then I added ¾ (recipe calls for ¼) cup red wine to deglaze the pan, I let that cook for just a minute, then turned off the heat. I then added the can of mushroom soup + 1 can of water and mixed it together and added the Worcestershire sauce. I dumped all that over the roast in the slow cooker, put it on High for 1 hour, then reduced to low heat, and 5 hours later we had magic. I didn’t have beef brother or bullion so I omitted it. I pulled the beef and let it rest while I pulled the carrots with s slotted spoon, then I dumped all the magic juice in the bottom of the cooker through a strainer into a medium sauce pan. I put that over medium high heat and whisked in a couple tablespoons corn starch and cold water to thicken it up. We served it with garlic mashed potatoes. The beef and carrots were amazing and perfect with GREAT flavor, NOT bland, our 3 year old and 1 year old super-picky daughters ate a ton of beef and carrots.

Our family's favorite pot roast!

This is now my go-to pot roast recipe. Served it to the family and was it ever a hit! I used Catsup in place of the wine...delicious!

By Mary Manzer on October 25, 2011

My family loved this dinner. The meat melts in your mouth. Thanks Paula!

By Alicia Holland on October 15, 2011

This was absolutely delicious. The only thing I had to do differently was instead of the wine,I added 1/4 cup of ketchup. The grave was thick and so good. My whole family loved it. In fact my extended families borrowed the recipe. Thanks Paula.

This one was a WINNER!! I lightned it up just a bit by using 98% Fat Free Cream of Mushroom Soup, a little less oil and more spray, but that was it! It was so easy and worth the wait! My husband asked me to make this dish a little more often! It went great with Bobby Lighter Cheesy Mac and the Buttery Spinach and Mushrooms (I tweaked that one some as well). This was a fabulous Sunday meal for my husband and I. Thank you so very much Paula!

This is the BEST Pot Roast I have ever eaten. On a good roll the next day it made a sandwich that you almost had to lick your elbows to get all the gravy! I didnt have Paula's season mix so I used a different season mix. And I used a whold onion. I will make again and again!!

By Vicky on June 28, 2011

It was a little bland the first time around. However, I added lipton onion soup mix and that moved it from a 3/5 to a 4/5.
